Vins Motors in Maranello, Italy, in collaboration with Asotech engineering consultants, is using ANSYS topology optimisation solutions to produce its sleek, lightweight Duecinquanta carbon fibre-based motorcycle.
Watch this video to learn how the engineering teams used ANSYS finite element method (FEM) solutions to reduce the weight of the motorcycle’s aluminium frontal node by 56 per cent through topology optimisation. Find out how they used ANSYS Mechanical to analyse the fatigue this redesigned frontal node experienced to ensure that it could withstand the repetitive stresses to which motorcycles are subjected in use.
